speaking of supplies...have you all seen these new towels that Zaino is selling?
no borders and they're softer than a baby's a$$. comes in pack of 3 for $25. they're only 16" x 16", so price is a little high, but looks like they're guaranteed not to scratch. I bought a pack, but haven't had a chance to use them yet....been raining a lot lately.
I've probably spent about $600 over the last 8 months.

in the past 2 weeks, about $900 on detailing stuff and i havent even detailed my car yet! i want to make sure i have everything i need when i do it. also, i am a FIRM believer in doing things right the first time around or not doing it at all. i did a ton of research and purchased some quality products, which is why i spent so much. for example, my buffer. i could have gotten a PC, but read that the FLEX is better so i purchased the flex. yes, it was about $200 more, but i would rather have it and know it is a superior product.
and all i can say to this pic below,
and what is that machine on the left of the supplies?

Yes it's a pressure washer. The nice features this one has is two separate soap tanks. You can use one to foam the car and another to apply APC to the wheels and wells. The unit also has a lower pressure setting that is safe to use on paint and tires.
The two craftsman tool boxes in the photo contain a PC and a 9227c rotary plus pads. As I've stated, I'm trying to cut back to fewer products. My main polishes are now Meg's #105 and #205. They can do anything I need. I've got #83, #82, #81, #80, and a few others but I can do everything with just these two.
Wax is the same story. I can get excellent results with NXT 2.0 or #21 2.0. I've got a couple tins of #16 and #26 but I only use them when prepping for winter over the sealants or if I'm looking for that warm carnauba glow.
I'm a compulsive buyer though and it takes a lot of discipline to stop buying every new product that comes to market with it's hype.
